Justin Herbert News
Sunday, July 19, 9:01 AM
Los Angeles Chargers seventh-year veteran Justin Herbert has become one of the most polarizing quarterbacks in the league in recent years, but for those who have always believed in his talent, the situation he now finds himself in makes him an obvious target in 2026 drafts. 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton comes into the year at full health after missing eight games as a rookie, as does an offensive line that played poorly enough through its own injury struggles to earn Herbert a token MVP vote. New offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel brings excitement into the building, and a heavy investment at both fullback and tight end should lead to more big-play opportunities through heavy play-action usage. Unable to crack the top nine since his QB2 finish of 2021, Herbert is well-positioned to rejoin the fantasy elite, and at RotoBaller's QB8, he can still be found in the middle rounds of single-quarterback drafts.

Cam Ward News
Tuesday, July 21, 9:28 AM
The first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward completed 59.8% of his pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 17 games as a rookie. The 24-year-old largely struggled in his first taste of NFL action, leading the league in sacks taken (55) and averaging just 5.9 yards per pass attempt. However, Ward should have a significantly better support system around him in 2026. Tennessee overhauled its coaching staff over the offseason, including bringing in former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll as its new offensive coordinator. The Titans also made a pair of high-profile additions to their wide receiver room, selecting Carnell Tate with the fourth pick in the 2026 Draft and signing Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency. While Ward may not have top-12 fantasy QB upside in his second professional season, he could be undervalued at his current redraft ADP of QB25.
